Re: [PHP] restating plea for help with sort

[Jason Lange]

Try this code (tested):

<---------- Begin Code ---------->
foreach ($list as $key => $value) {
    // If elements value is a numeral add to numeric_array
    if (is_numeric($value)) {
        $numeric_array[$key] = $value;
    // If value is not a numeral (presumably 'n/a') add to na_array
    } else {
        $na_array [$key] = $value;
    }
}
// Re-combine arrays placing all "other" values at the end
$final_array = array_merge($numeric_array, $na_array);
<---------- End Code ---------->
Hope that helps,
Jason

To append my own answer.  In order to sort the non "n/a" values you're going
to have to build a separate array and perhaps this will simplfy the problem.
So instead of what I suggested below.. loop the array and start TWO new
arrays within the loop.  One array for "n/a" values and one for non-"n/a"
values.  After the values are sorted to their separate arrays do
asort($nonnavals); then concatonate the two arrays together using
array_merge(), putting the "n/a" array second.

Hmm well upon first glance looks like all you need to do is loop that
array

and start a new array within the loop.  An If/Else construct checks If the
value is "n/a" then append to the back of the new array Else prepend to
the

front of the new array.    You append the values manually or use
array_push() and array_unshift().  Search the manual for more information.
Hope that helps.

Hi,

I have an array with an html link as key and different $vars as val:

$list = array (
'<a href="http://someplace.com/";>some place</a>' => $vendor1_total,
'<a href="http://anotherplace.com/";>another place</a>' =>
$vendor2__total,

[snip] etc..

some vals are numeric and some vals are "n/a"
asort works to sort the array as a string, however, I need to sort the
numeric vals numeric, then have the n/a's go away or be output at the
bottom of the sort.
Please be clear and gentle.. I'm not schooled in php, just a tinkerer
trying to make this mess work.
Thanks In Advance,

Jim Long
